the stars aligned perfectly,
bringing us our time
to join together.
like your favorite robe
i enfold you;
like an old cap,
you crown me
king to your queen,
bless me your highness.
we could probably complete
each other’s
sentences,
once we know the story lines.
we have swum the same rivers
at different crossings.
we have sown the same seed
in different fields.
our songs weave harmony with melody,
indistinguishable and perfect
in our voices joined.
for this we have waited
patiently,
suffered indignities from those
who thought they knew,
smiling even in our pain
to know somewhere, somehow,
we would find the other,
and lo! we did.
i can bring you no gift
greater than my self,
standing naked before your eyes;
and in your infinite wisdom
you make me feel
unashamed and free
to love and be loved in return.
